"We are so impressed with the fantastic way that all of the staff at Croft House have coped during this latest lockdown. They have always treated Mum with loving care and dignity and this has been so important during the past year. We feel so lucky that she is being cared for in such a loving way and are so grateful for the regular updates that we receive. We would like to say a huge thank you for everything they do for all the residents."

"Staff are very helpful and friendly. I feel confident knowing Mum is being cared for. Staff have kept me updated in regards to her health and well-being and have tried to accommodate during this difficult time."
Daughter of resident, 23 September 2020, carehome.co.uk
"If anyone is looking for a care home, I would strongly recommend speaking to the lovely people at Croft House Care Home. From our first meeting with the home manager to meeting the staff who looked after my father during his stay, they were all so kind to all of us. It was very reassuring to know how well he was cared for. Thank you especially to the resident nurses and carers."
